Also Bill... I may be a late comer but there is no doubt in my mind about why you have such a rabidly devoted fan base. You reaffirm that to me with a simple sentence. So human and yet so above the petty, ugly unthinking shades which assail me daily. You can take even annoyance and turn it into art. You are the best of us Bill, and no matter where life takes me I can only hope that I come to reside where you now occupy.

Is it intellectual? Is it spiritual? Is this wisdom? I want it for myself someday! Come what may.
